2 Becoming a Congregation Like Jesus

3 1 Peter 5:8-9 (Pew Bible Pg 1016)

4 Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

5 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you.

6 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be soberminded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him.

9 Eph 6: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

11 1. Be knowing: Satan & his demons are real!

12 Satan & demons are fallen angels.

13 Satan & demons are fallen angels. His names are descriptive of his person & work.

14 Satan & demons are fallen angels. His names are descriptive of his person & work. Satan & demons are limited in power, defeated by Christ & destined for hell.

15 Job 1:6-12 Pew Bible Page 417

16

17 2. Be watchful: The devil wants to devour you with common schemes & snares.

18 2 Cor 2:11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

19 Satan lies & twists the truth.

20 Satan lies & twists the truth. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

21 Satan lies & twists the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons

22

23 Satan lies & twists the truth. Satan tempts us with the world.

24 1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world.

25

26 Satan lies & twists the truth. Satan tempts us with the world. Satan puts evil suggestions into our minds.

27 Satan lies & twists the truth. Satan tempts us with the world. Satan puts evil suggestions into our minds. Satan promotes an unloving prideful spirit.

28 James 3:13-15 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

29

30 Satan lies & twists the truth. Satan tempts us with the world. Satan puts evil suggestions into our minds. Satan promotes an unloving prideful spirit. Satan tempts with immorality.

31 1 Cor 7:5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of selfcontrol.

32

33 Satan lies & twists the truth. Satan tempts us with the world. Satan puts evil suggestions into our minds. Satan promotes an unloving prideful spirit. Satan tempts with immorality. Satan tempts us to doubt God s faithfulness.

34

35 3. Be resisting: We must be engaged in the spiritual battle!

36

37 By submitting to God: Walking in the Spirit & obeying God s Word!

38 1) Do not grieve the Spirit. (Eph 4:30) 1) Do not quench the Spirit. (1 Ths 5:19) 1) Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph 5:18) 1) Walk in the Spirit. (Gal 5:16)

39 By submitting to God: Walking in the Spirit & obeying God s Word! By putting on the whole armor of God.

40 By submitting to God: Walking in the Spirit & obeying God s Word! By putting on the whole armor of God. The promise is that the devil will flee from us!

41

42 Victory over the attacks of the devil will never occur without Vigilance!
